A Matter of Choice

Duo stood in the doorway, taking in the scene before him as a prang of hate and jealousy hit his heart, his hand unconsciously crushing the banana ham sandwich he had so painfully taken time to prepare for 'him'. And there 'he' is, in Quatre's room, holding the beautiful blond in his arms like there's no tomorrow. Well, maybe there won't be tomorrow after all, what with the war and such... and he does look good with Quarte... and Quatre has always been like a little brother to him... so why the hell is he feeling so damn pissed off seeing those 2 together?? "Because I loved him... because he once said he loved me... that baka clown...... Trowa..." A single tear crawled its way down Duo's cheeks as he silently turned and walked away back to the room he shared with Heero, mind too preoccupied with his own sorrows to notice Wufei looking at him from a corner... - Phoenix (Not me! Not me!) Wufei felt a smirk coming on. Yup yup! He saw it all right, Duo enviously gazing at the hot Trowa and Quatre...hmmm...could this be a scandal?? Wufei rubbed his hands wickedly. Duo sank on his bed, Heero looking at him. "What's the matter?" Heero said quickly. "Nothing." "You're not talkative, I know there's something wrong." "THERE'S nothing wrong Heero!" "Duo, I've been your roommate ever since we all united, and I believe I remember so well, EVERYDAY you walk into this room with a conversation babbling on the tip of your tongue. But today..." "Heero!! Enough already! I don't feel like it, save your stupid comments about my talkativeness for later." "It's about Trowa isn't it?" "Quiet!" "I knew it...." Heero's eyes narrowed, "so tell me about it." "I could kill you right now Heero...." Duo muttered under his breath. - Silver Undine "Tell me." Heero's voice was hard. Duo looked into Heero's eyes and sighed. No point in trying to kill Heero. It would be suicidal. "Tell me," Heero persisted. Duo turned away, determined to remain silent. Heero grabbed hold of Duo's shoulders, forcing him to make eye contact. "Duo. You love Trowa, don't you?" "Yes I do. So what? Are you going to laugh at me for being a lovesick puppy? I don't care. I don't care. I don't..." Duo broke down, tears streaming down his face. "Yes, I do care," he whispered. "It hurts whenever I see Trowa with Quatre. It hurts so much..." Heero looked at the sobbing figure beside him. "Guess I'm not the only one who gets jealous around here," he said wistfully. Duo looked at Heero curiously. "You..." Heero stood up and walked over to the open window, breathing in deeply. "I love you Duo," he muttered to nobody in particular. Duo's eyes widened. 'He' loves me? How can that be possible? I thought that 'he' was with Relena. Heck. The only reason I fell in love with Trowa was because he was so similar to 'him'. And I knew I couldn't get 'him' so I settled for Trowa. And now... - Haruka "That won't be the wisest of choice" Came a soft voice startleing the both of them. Both stood. "Quatre?" Heero asked. The beautiful Blonde stood at the door. Not returning their gaze. "Duo I'm sorry if I got in your way.." Quatre continued..his head still low. " If you really love Trowa.. Then I won't get in your way. I can't stand the thought of one of my friends hating me." Tears slid down his cheeks but he managed a smile. "Please Duo don't hate me anymore.." Quatre took off into a run. "Quatre!" Duo started but Heero stopped him. "Let me go talk to him." He stated simply. Duo shot him a look. "You!? But what.." Heero didn't awnser as he took off after Quatre. All of them still unaware that Wufei had been watching it all. This is getting better by the minute!" - Biggs Wufei chuckled to himself in unbelieveing wickedness. He had finally found himself another form of enjoyment other than thinking up crap about justice and worshiping a piece of metal called Nataku....and a HUGE piece at that. Smiling to himself, he decided to follow Heero to catch the "show", unconsciously wondering if he should go grab some popcorns from the kitchen first but promptly decided against it. Given Heero's non-talkative nature, the show would be over by the time he came back with the popcorns. Just as he was about to leave his "hiding place" in pursue of Heero and Quatre, the sight of a tall boy with one visible green eye forced him to retreat back to where he was..... - Phoenix ('^_^?) Duo sighed and sat down on his bed. He was about to lay down and went to sleep when there was a knock on the door. He opened and came face to face with Trowa. He swallowed and managed a nervous grin on his face. Just looking at Trowa, gave him the wilies. "May I come in?" That quiet voice asked him. Duo managed to smile broadly. "Sure, sure, come in, man." Trowa walked in. "Duo, we need to talk." Duo's hands trembled but his smile was still plastered at his face. "Sure, never knew you like to talk. I mean, you being quiet and all. Not that you are mute or something but sometime you can be too quiet. Hell! Heero is worse than...." "Duo, shut up!!" Duo shut up instantly. "Duo..." Trowa looked at him and took a deep breath. He hated doing this to Duo but he had to. What was between them was over, now that he had Quatre. "Duo, I like you, only as a friend. What we had done, it was fun, I have to admit it but now that I have Quatre... I can't do it again. I'm sorry." Duo felt as if his world was breaking apart. - Wing "Quatre..Wait!" Heero called after Quatre. Damn! He didn't realize how good a runner Quatre was..He was like a stag. "I don't wanna hear it Heero!" Quatre sobbed. "Quatre..Don't make me do this!" Heero uttered. "Just leave me alone!!" "Damn it Quatre.." Heero growled. Suddenly he lunged at the blond like a lion. Tackleing him. Tearing some of Quatre's clothes in the process. He sat on top of Quatre. "Quatre, now you listen to me..." Heero fumed. "Let go of me!" Quatre screamed. He struggled but he couldn't buck Heero off.. Not far away Wufei watched all of this. "Wow! First it was Heero and Duo. Then it was Trowa and Duo.And now it's Heero and Quatre. And that chase scene? Amazing! Who ever thought love scandals were so exciting! - Biggs "Let go of me, Heero." Quatre half-pleaded, half-demanded, wriggling violently in an attempt to get that iron body off of him. "No." Heero replied. "You're going to have to listen to me whether you like it or not." "Heero...get off of me!" Heero snarled, annoyed with the boy's inability to stay still! "Damn it, Quatre, you're going to listen to me whether you like it or not." "No!" Quatre shrieked and without thinking, his fist swung out connecting painfully with Heero's eye. Heero reeled back in shock. Quatre gasped, shocked. Oh no...I..I.. hit Heero!!! - Ritz Come on!
